Rock Subgrade Modulus
Rock Subgrade Modulus
(OP)
Does anyone know of a good reference for typical values of Rock Subgrade Modulus of Deformation, Ks? I am designing some deep caisson foundations that are socketed into Rock and I need the Subgrade Modulus for the Rock.
Thanks.
Thanks.

I present to you my thesis:

This has some reference to intact rock and rock mass moduli values and the factors that affect the modulus of rock mass.
Hope this helps.

Bowles has some empirical formulas for estimating Ks from the Es. I calculated the Es of the rock mass from the RMR.
